After hearing Eunuch Luo's words, Xia Yan felt slightly moved.
One thing Eunuch Luo said is quite right. He is already the emperor now and there is no need to fall in love with a flower unrequitedly.
What's more, this flower cannot even be called love.
Although the two of them had been honest with each other, they did not go any further because of themselves, and they were ultimately destined to have no connection.
But, is this the point?
The point is, it’s only fifteen minutes, damn!
He is a majestic emperor, but he can't even control such a small amount of time!
Even when I was a hard-working wage earner in my previous life, I never felt so aggrieved.
Even if it really times out, it only takes a short "add clock" to solve it.
In comparison, now I can't even add seconds, it's so frustrating...
Seeing Xia Yan like this, Eunuch Luo also coughed lightly.
"Well, for your Majesty... I guess the time is enough."
"Eunuch Luo, what you said is very good. Don't say it again next time. Get out of here!!!"
On the other side, Eunuch Luo, who had been driven out of the room, was holding his hat that was already a little crooked and muttering in his mouth.
"I don't know why I'm angry, it's enough..."
On the second day, Xia Yan had just gone to court when he saw that Zhuge Liang and Di Renjie were missing. Also missing was Yuan Liyang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
What is going on?
Zhuge Liang's disappearance is usually not a good thing. I'm afraid I need to ask the reason carefully.
Soon, the remaining six old men gave their answers.
"They went to the Ministry of Finance."
"Tobe...what are you doing there?"
"Oh...it seems like they were playing cards."
Originally Xia Yan was still worried that the two of them were going to do something destructive to his cause of national subjugation, but now he immediately beamed after hearing Zhu Ming's story.
"Hehe, the three of them are so dedicated to their duties, okay, okay, give me instructions, as long as it's about poker, it's all up to them!"
Xia Yan almost died laughing. If it were anyone else, he would be more worried, but there is nothing to worry about playing cards.
Zhu Minggang below wanted to explain that the two of them were there for future sales of playing cards, but after hearing what Xia Yan said, he said nothing more and just nodded silently.
Xia Yan, on the other hand, was very proud to see Zhu Ming stop talking.
In his mind, Zhuge Liang and Di Renjie must have gone to the Ministry of Household Supervision to expand production.
There is no doubt that the more you produce, the more money you will lose every day.
How could I let such a good thing go!
However, he didn't seem to have thought that the two of them might be there to sell poker...
On the other side, the three of them were busy in the household department when they suddenly received an order from the court.
The specific content is naturally that Xia Yan said that everything about poker should be handled by three people.
After hearing this, the three of them were silently grateful.
"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so confident in us. We must live up to his expectations."
"Yes, yes, this foreign trade route must be opened. Let's start with the six bordering countries first, right?"
"Okay, three people can divide two countries into two!"
Soon, after some discussion, the three of them each received two countries.
There are six countries bordering Daxia.
They are the Yu State, the Xi State, the Xuanwu Dynasty, the Zhu State, the Yue State, and the Changxing State.
Among them, the one with the strongest military strength is undoubtedly the Xi State, but the one with the largest overall territory and the strongest economic strength is the Yu State.
The remaining four empires are generally not much different from Daxia. They are all in the same state and no one can do anything about them.
After the three of them divided the empires they were responsible for, they began to cross the sea and show off their magical powers.
The general purpose is to open up this trade route.
At the same time, "Tianxia's No. 1" must also become famous among all countries!
Soon, another week passed in a tense atmosphere.
Today is Xia Yan's system settlement day.
Xia Yan looked at the panel. As before, there was still no data displayed on it.
However, unlike the previous times, Xia Yan now no longer needs to worry about completing the task.
Because in the past week, I can say that I didn't do any good things.
First of all, he had almost finished the 65,000 taels of silver he had just collected a week ago.
Although the warships and weapons have not been completed yet, at least my money has been spent!
Because the team of craftsmen hired worked very well, because they often traveled to various countries to build warships.
Of course, the craftsmen who received the job were all surprised.
There are many monarchs in other countries who do not withhold money.
But this is the only company that paid everything exactly before construction started.
And it's not like other countries that after starting work, they wish their king would keep an eye on the progress every day.
After Daxia paid the money, everyone immediately started losing their clan.
I just free up this place by the river for you. As for how you like to assemble it here, that is your own business, and no one will interfere.
Seeing such an employer, the leader of the craftsman team was very excited.
"This is the first time in so many years that someone can trust us so much. No matter what, we can't live up to their trust. Brothers have given me the best materials to build the hardest warship!"
"Not bad, not bad. We must not cut corners at all and give back to our employer with full dedication!"
A group of people here are in full swing, and so are a group of people on the other side.
"Since the employer only requires bows, we must use the strongest materials!"
"That's right, the new bow we make is guaranteed not to break even after being drawn a hundred thousand times!"
Of course, Xia Yan didn't know all of this. At this moment, he was leisurely going to court.
Above the court, the number of ministers finally returned from six to nine.
Zhuge Liang, Di Renjie and Yuan Liyang returned to their original positions.
However, the three of them looked a little excited to the naked eye.
Even the faces of the three of them were a little rosy.
If the guess is correct, the three of them had a small dinner similar to a celebration banquet the night before.
If it had been at any other time, Xia Yan would have been extremely nervous.
But now, there is no problem at all.
After all, the three of them are mainly responsible for the production of playing cards.
The happier the three of them are now, the more they will produce.
However, the three of them didn't know that the more they produced, it would just add some useless waste materials to Daxia.
Playing cards costs ten taels of silver, unless someone is clever.
